NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--RWS
Group and inovia
recently streamlined operations in order to better serve their clients.
RWS Group purchased inovia in October 2013, but for the last 2 years
they have operated independently as long-term partners. As of last
month, RWS Group-inovia completed an alignment of their sales
organizations, hiring Clint Gaffney as SVP of North American Sales.

Feedback from clients drove RWS Group and inovia to become more closely
organized over the years, with a complete integration of the sales teams
as the logical next step in October 2015. As part of this move, Clint
Gaffney was hired as the new SVP of North American Sales to head up RWS
Group-inovia business development efforts, showing commitment to the
region’s growth. An accomplished legal industry veteran, Gaffney joined
the team in September after more than 10 years at LexisNexis.

“We are very excited to integrate our sales and operations further,”
Reinhard Ottway, CEO of RWS Group recently remarked. “This will help
streamline our clients’ experiences with us and make their lives easier.
Our joint product suite is the strongest in the industry with
complementary offerings to help our clients protect their IP worldwide.
RWS has translated patents for more than 50 years with 70,000 IP
translations annually and inovia nationalizes more PCT applications than
any law firm in the world. It’s a perfect marriage. In addition, RWS
brings its patent search division to the table to assist our clients
further throughout the IP lifecycle.”
